It's hard to believe, but we're in the last few weeks heading up to the dev2next 2025 conference. I'm eager to welcome speakers and attendees at the event.
The Near Time Registration is open for those who have been waiting to get their final approvals to attend.
Hotel rooms reserved, flights booked, meals planned, swags ordered (did I say swags), I can't wait for the conference to begin.
If you've not already done so, please make sure to select the talks you'd like to attend using the ⊕ Schedule builder on the schedule page.

Cactus, a Y Combinator-backed startup, enables local AI inference to mobile phones, wearables, and other low-power devices through cross-platform, energy-efficient kernels and a native runtime.
